Q: 2 Read unit 4. Introverts and extroverts are two different t^ always present inhuman nature.
DEFINITION OF INTROVENT
A
personality trait, wherein a person, is interested in his own mental
self, is called an introvert. Introverts are reserved by nature, as they
are preoccupied with their own thoughts and feelings. So, they need a
lot of personal space. Further, these people feel comfortable and more
energized when they are alone. So, they prefer solitary activities to
social interaction which includes reading, writing, listening music, and
so on. They have their own world of facts, feelings, fantasies, etc.
Many
believe that introverts are shy and anti-social, rather they have
social fear, and they are active listeners. They do not make friends
easily and have few friends, but their friendship is deep rooted.
DEFINITION OF EXTROVERT
Extrovert refers to a type of human
behavior in which a person loves to be surrounded by and interact with
people. They are socially confident and outspoken. The very identity of
an extrovert is that they enjoy human interaction.
Extroverts,
focus on practical realities rather than inner feelings and opinions, so
they get bored in solitude. Hence, they tend to be more social,
practical, informal and enthusiastic. Further, their communication
skills are excellent. Individuals who possess this type of personality
enjoy social gatherings and like to become the center of attraction.
They are same in public and private. KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INTROVERT
AND EXTROVERT
The difference between introvert and extrovert can be drawn clearly on the following grounds:
•A
person who remains isolated, or enjoys the company of few closed ones
and keeps himself busy in thinking, is called an introvert. An outgoing
and outspoken person who enjoys being around and talking to people is an
extrovert.
•By nature, introverts are self-contained and reserved, whereas extroverts are friendly, talkative and gregarious.
•When
it comes to speaking, introverts listen more than they speak and in
fact they think twice or thrice before speaking. On the other hand,
extroverts are completely different; they speak their minds out, in fact
they try to find out the reason of something by speaking them.
•The energy of introverts recharges with solitude whereas extrovert's energy recharges with social interactions.
•If
we talk about spending time, introverts get rejuvenated when they spend
time with themselves and so they avoid social interaction. As against
this, extroverts like to spend time with family, friends, etc. and love
getting social.
•Introverts seem to be quiet but their minds are
loud as well as active. On the contrary, extroverts are outside
thinkers, as they can handle any situation by verbally communicating
with others.
•Introverts open up to a very few people and hence
they prefer two or three close friends. In contrast, extroverts are
socially active people whose friend list is very long, as they make
friends wherever they go.
•Introverts hate change, as they cannot
easily adapt themselves to new situations. As opposed this, extroverts
accept the change easily.
•Extroverts are one who can talk with
other about themselves, freely. Conversely, introverts openly
communicate about themselves with people they know and trust.
•One
of the major qualities of introverts is, they can deeply concentrate on
anything, while extroverts are easily distracted as they cannot
concentrate on anything for a long time.
WHO IS MORE SUCCESSFUL-------- AN INTROVERT OR AN EXTROVERT?
Being
an introvert or an extrovert is part of your innate temperament — the
way that you gain energy and prefer to interact with the world.
Introversion and extroversion are both temperaments, and both are normal
and healthy. About 30-50 percent of the population is thought to be
introverts.
You are shaped by both your genes and experiences.
Research shows that you were likely born an introvert or extrovert, and
that preference will stick with you for life. Introverts will probably
always have a preference for calm and solitude, while extroverts will
thrive in more stimulating environments. However, people change. You
have new experiences and learn new things. You grow and stretch as a
person. In fact, research shows*|hat people tend to change over their
lifetime — and usually for the better. That's because our personalities,
not temperaments, grow and develop.
There isn't any hard or fast
rule that guarantees success in life. Being an introvert or an
extrovert is a personality trait. Some people are very shy but they
areSvery successful writers. Similarly people who are active socially
might get success as media anchors, it is a matter of your choice of
profession and career and ultimately your hard work that determines your
success in LIFE.|
